Overview
- Byrne opened the four-song performance with “Everybody Laughs” and “Don’t Be Like That” from his 2025 solo album Who Is the Sky?.
- He closed with Talking Heads staples “(Nothing But) Flowers” and “Life During Wartime,” delivered with a cappella harmonies and high energy.
- NPR’s Robin Hilton noted the tour’s cable-free, compact-instrument design made the 10-by-11-foot Tiny Desk setup workable for the 13 musicians.
- The group performed in matching electric blue outfits, reinforcing the visual identity of Byrne’s current live production.
- Byrne also shared a seasonal playlist titled “Christmas Music for People Who Hate Christmas Music,” as his U.S. tour runs through December 6 before international dates in 2026.
